Subject: [PATCH 4/7] mempool: factor out mempool_fill()

Factor out mempool_fill() from mempool_create() and mempool_resize().
When called, it fills the reservoir upto the configured min_nr
elements.

After the change, gotos in mempool_resize() exit paths don't make
whole lot of sense, unlock and return directly.

Note that mempool_create() repeatedly locks and unlocks pool->lock
while filling the pool initially and mempool_resize() may go through
one extra locking cycle.  This shouldn't result in noticeable
difference.
